Every time I send pictures there are about 20 small pictures of
advertisement. I go throw all my pictures I want to send and they are find
and then I send them and check the pictures after I send them I have all
these advertizing small pictures. Does anyone know anything about this.

Not without knowing how you are sending and using which web service.

Richard, you probably don't want to use a real email address when
posting to newsgroups like this, spammers get them and use them for
mailing junk.

Seems you may be using cox.net as your service provider, I doubt it is
them adding the adds. You may have picked up some adware. Do you have
any antivirus, anti spyware software on your machine and can you confirm
how you send email. Don't give a read address, just the part after the @
sign. If you are using a web service like yahoo (you use internet
explorer to send mail and not Windows mail etc) then also mention that.

What do you mean by "real"?

I have about 8 email addresses... all of them are "real", including
this one. A couple of 'em are for Usenet, a couple for signing up
for things I'm not sure I'll keep, etc.

My REAL "real" email addie is the one I use only for email and for
online accounts that I trust - I never use that one on Usenet.

A lot of people only have one and do not realize that newsgroups are
"Harvested". Mine too is "Real" in that sense, usually gets 2000 spams a
week at least, but since the server is mine it is better they waste
their time on me than some poor devil with a limited space mailbox.

All the addies I use for Usenet or for tentative registrations are
addies that use web-based email. I usually dump all the crap outta
them once a month or so.

Sometimes I get a surprise and find a real email replying to one of my
posts on Usenent. That's a pleasant surprise.

I should just probably use a munged addie and be done with it, but at
my age, some habits are hard to break ;-\
